Thoughts for another day

April 23, 2013.

Today's verse: Ps. 40: 8,9. I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.” I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O LORD. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

The Lord knows all of us; He knows the inner things of a man, deep from the bottom-most part of the heart.  And thus He knows our desires in and out and I can truly say, ‘I desire to do Your will O my God for Your law is embedded in my heart.  You have revealed Your glorious will to me, which, by adhering to, I’m to dwell in the aura of Your Presence and as the psalmist said, “in the shadow of Your wings.” ’ 

There’s nothing of my nature and my innermost thoughts hidden to the Lord God and in the quiet of time when I’m deep in prayer with Him, He puts thoughts in my mind which’re either answers to my prayer or messages that enlighten my path in the swirling tempests of life.  That He never leaves me nor forsakes me is an assurance, both rock solid and permanent; for I realise, even when I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I can feel His Presence as a whiff of warm air on my being.  I’m consoled and comforted by such great love that He shows, despite the fact that I’m a sinner and not worth even a single glance from Him.

Somehow, on the road of life, when I think of the difficult moments I had to live, I also remember how things worked out; so wonderfully, so miraculously.  They affirm that He my God, worked things out, even though for a brief moment, He left me; and I now know how with great compassion He gathered me.  Today too, you and I my dear friend may have storms blasting the very core of where we stand.  But let me assure you, we have the Rock of Israel around us.  I have complete trust in Him and I wait with patience, enduring the hardness of my present, knowing that in a trice, He can and will change it to my comfort.  In Him I trust and in Him I live Amen.
